A Douglas County mother was arrested Thursday for allegedly trying to kill her children in a failed murder-suicide attempt.

The arrest of Erin Giberti, 36, stems from a Dec. 9 incident where deputies found her children standing in front their house in the 4900 block of Laurelglen Lane in Highlands Ranch, while she was found unconscious in a running vehicle in the garage, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Giberti was taken into custody for criminal attempt murder in the first degree – after deliberation, and criminal attempt murder in the first degree — child under age 12 by one in a position of trust, according to the release.
